The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that cornerback Joselio Hanson has signed a five-year contract to remain with the team.
Hanson was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on February 27.
"We are happy to keep Joselio in Philadelphia with a long-term contract," coah Andy Reid said. "He's become a productive and valuable player on defense for us over the last few years, especially in nickel situations. Good cornerbacks are certainly a valuable commodity in this league and Joselio definitely fits that category."
Hanson, 27, signed with the Eagles prior to the 2006 season. He has appeared in all 48 regular-season games, making eight starts, and five playoff games.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, it's a $21 million deal, with $6 million in guaranteed money.
